Keystone Terrain Parks & Freeride
Big air = Big Bragging Rights and Big Vacation Memories
Terrain parks aren't just for "park rats" anymore. More and more parents, as well as 30-something-year-olds, 40-something-year-olds are getting into the parks and checking out the beginner hits, rails and funboxes. The terrain park is becoming the new "big fish story" of the ski industry. Kids, adults and grandparents are going home with vacation glory stories about sliding a rail or hitting a jump instead of (or in addition to) the stories of racing down double black diamond runs.
Elliott Cohne, one of the top terrain park designers in the industry, joins Keystone’s esteemed A51 terrain park team this season as the assistant terrain park manager. Cohne, along with Julian Lamarche, Keystone's terrain park manager, are reconfiguring the park and improving jump lines and snow features to keep things fresh and innovative.
This year, Keystone continues to invest in A51 Incubator - its beginner area located adjacent to its super-sized A51 terrain park. This is in direct response to feedback from guests and the needs of the Keystone University (our ski/ride program) instructors for a "jumping off point" for their students and for the beginner freerider/freeskier.
One thing that won’t change is Keystone’s bragging rights as Colorado’s largest and only night park. In fact, it's one of the largest night parks in the country. Keystone is still in the spotlight this season even when the sun goes down. To learn more, visit www.nightpark.com.
Speaking of the spotlight, Keystone’s riders, rails and hits will hit the big screen and magazine stands this season. The resort will also be highlighted on the small screen as NBC airs the Sports Illustrated for Kids NextSnow Search at Keystone.
